Book Blitz: Evacuation by KD McAdams

The
virus that wiped out most of the human race is adapting to defeat the
vaccine and kill the survivors. There is a government response protocol
but it will kill them too, it involves a nuclear winter. The NASA
scientists believe they can leave Earth and achieve faster than light
travel, but Seamus doesn’t want to slog through space. He knows that to
survive they have to go somewhere fast. To save them all he needs to
invent a warp drive and evacuate the planet.

K. D. McAdams writes stories
about young people who make choices with their heart and not their head.
‘Don’t talk to strangers’ is the most common phrase in our house, I
have failed several art classes and I can’t remember what I ate for
breakfast. I have a son that loves to talk to strangers, my daughter is
an incredible artist and I have another son that is a stickler for
details with a near eidetic memory. We nurture our kids everyday with
advice and information but deep down they all have an element of nature
that overrides our nurturing and influences their choices. Kids who have
the courage to follow their instinct and make their own choices are the
ones who make life memorable.

As a stay at home
father of three I was looking for an opportunity where I could make
my own hours and work only on things that I loved. After trying my
hand at a few different at home business ideas that I did not enjoy I
started writing almost two years ago and I have loved every minute of
it.

What is your target audience?

My stories are for
people ages 16 to 25. I think that starting in junior year of high
school and going through our mid twenties we all struggle with
choices about what are we doing, what are we supposed to do and what
do we want to do.

What have you published to
date? Do you write under a pseudonym?

I write under the
name K. D. McAdams, not a pseudonym. My debut novel Annihilation –
Book 1 of The Seamus Chronicles was published in 2013, the sequel,
Evacuation – Book 2 of The Seamus Chronicles was published in March
2014.

If you are self-published, what
led to this choice?

For me it came
down to a question of control. As a self-published author I get to
control all aspects of my business.

How would you review your book
for readers who might be considering it?

The Seamus
Chronicles is a twist on the post-apocalyptic story. One of the
biggest problems the survivors face is that there’s no one left.
Being one of the last humans alive on Earth causes them to reevaluate
who they really are as people. There is action and intrigue but it is
focused on the characters and their struggles as survivors.

If any of your books were to be
made into films, who would you have as the lead actor(s)?

I see Seamus as a
Jason Dolley character, Grace is someone like Brenda Song and Liam is
definitely Jaden Smith (my son told me that’s who should play him).
I can’t think of the frumpy middle aged white man to play the Dad.

What are you working on at the
moment? Are you planning on another book?

I am currently
writing Colonization – Book 3 of The Seamus Chronicles. I am also
developing a new series called The Stewards of Humanity which is a
Dystopian story of a sister and brother who were raised in very
different worlds.

If you could invite three
people from any era to dinner, who would you choose and why? What
would you serve your guests or where would you dine?

I would invite Ben
Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt and Jimmy Buffett to dinner at one of the
great Streak houses of New York. I choose these three men because
they all have a reputation as storytellers and people who enjoy life.
